Smart city initiative: Traffic and waste management

Traffic rules violation is one of the major problems in urban areas. Violating, transgressing or disrespecting any of the traffic rules is a serious offence as according to the city specific traffic police rules as well as the Indian Motor Vehicle Act. Signal jumping results in accidents and loss of life. Adding to these problems overflowing dustbin placed near signal lights encroaches part of the road and makes it difficult for vehicles to pass through the signal. Also overflow of garbage in public areas creates an unhygienic condition in the nearby surroundings. This provokes several serious diseases amongst the nearby people. To avoid these and to enhance the cleaning and to obey the traffic rules the, ‘smart city management system’ is proposed in this paper. Wherever traffic signal/zebra crossing are located, infra red sensors will be installed just in front of the stop line for the vehicles. When any vehicle that passes the stop line when signal is red, sensors will get activated and the vehicle which is fitted with radio frequency identification number is considered for identifying the vehicle, the number of vehicle is matched with the database and the details of owner will be fetched from the database and notice is sent to the owner and he will be fined for the offence using an android application. The level of waste in the dustbins is detected with the help of Sensor systems, and communicated to the authorized control room through GSM system. GPS is used to find the location of the dustbin. The above system addresses those issues efficiently.
